No longer can you simply buy a house, fix it, rent it, and get rich over time.  You have many hands in your pocket – Thieving Tenants, Uncle Sam, and Murphy’s Law.

You’ll get the low-down on Asset Protection at this Special Event:
- what are assets – and what are NOT
- business entity structuring
- how taxes apply to different types of entities – or don’t apply
- why a sole proprietorship may make sense when starting out
- how to avoid lawsuits
- how to title your assets
- why liens can be your best friend
- and answers to YOUR questions
If you have ever asked a legal question and been told to ask your tax person, or vice versa, then this is the meeting for you!  Learn how it all fits together to bring you short-term and long-term asset protection from taxes and lawsuits.
